Abstract
A sample analyzer is disclosed that includes: a memory configured to store a record of maintenance already performed on the sample analyzer; a display; and a display control configured to control the display to display a first table which chronologically shows the record of maintenance already performed, wherein the first table is assigned a predetermined term, in the table the term is divided into a plurality of sections.
Claims22
A sample analyzer comprising:
- a measurement device that analyzes a sample;
- a memory that stores a plan/history of maintenance needed to be performed, wherein the plan/history of maintenance comprises planned dates to perform a maintenance task of cleaning a pipette;
- a display for displaying a maintenance management screen;
- and
- a controller comprising a processor and a memory that stores computer programs executable by the processor to:
- (a) display on the display the plan/history of maintenance in a calendar form in the maintenance management screen in such a manner that the maintenance management screen comprises a group of regions associated with the maintenance task of cleaning the pipette, and the regions in the group are associated respectively with a series of dates;
- (b) from the plan/history of maintenance stored in the memory, read out the planned dates to perform the maintenance task of cleaning the pipette and place a not-yet-performed mark in a respective region in the group, corresponding to the read-out planned dates in order to notify the planned dates of the maintenance task of cleaning the pipette;
- (c) receive a request to initiate the maintenance task of cleaning the pipette from a user;
- (d) instruct the measurement device to perform the requested maintenance task;
- (e) receive maintenance completion information from the measurement device;
- (f) automatically update the plan/history of maintenance stored in the memory by automatically recording a date on which the requested maintenance task is performed;
- and
- (g) after receiving the maintenance completion information, without any involvement of the user, automatically change a not-yet-performed mark displayed in a region, corresponding to the date on which the requested maintenance task is performed, to a different mark indicating that the requested maintenance task has been performed.

A sample analyzer comprising:
- a measurement device that comprises a sample dispensing pipette configured to dispense a sample which is a blood or a urine to a cuvette, a reagent dispensing pipette configured to dispense a reagent to the cuvette and a detecting section configured to measure optical information of a measurement sample prepared by the sample and the reagent in the cuvette;
- a memory that stores a plan/history of maintenance needed to be performed, wherein the plan/history of maintenance comprises planned dates to perform a maintenance task of cleaning pipettes including the sample dispensing pipette and the reagent dispensing pipette;
- a display for displaying a maintenance management screen;
- and
- a controller comprising a processor and a memory that stores computer programs executable by the processor to:
- (a) display on the display the plan/history of maintenance in a calendar form in the maintenance management screen in such a manner that the maintenance management screen comprises a group of regions associated with the maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes, and the regions in the group are associated respectively with a series of dates;
- (b) from the plan/history of maintenance stored in the memory, read out the planned dates to perform the maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes and place a not-yet-performed mark in a respective region in the group, corresponding to the read-out planned dates in order to notify the planned dates of the maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes;
- (c) receive a request to initiate the maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes from a user;
- (d) instruct the measurement device to perform the requested maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes;
- (e) receive maintenance completion information from the measurement device;
- (f) automatically update the plan/history of maintenance stored in the memory by automatically recording a date on which the requested maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes is performed;
- and
- (g) after receiving the maintenance completion information, without any involvement of the user, automatically change a not-yet-performed mark displayed in a region, corresponding to the date on which the requested maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes is performed, to a different mark indicating that the requested maintenance task of cleaning the pipettes has been performed.
